AuthorTopic: Anim8or v0.98 is ready! (Read 18122 times)

Deepthought, the v0.96 and v0.97 Previews were the development releases leading up to the v0.98 official release. As such there are no more features than what you've already seen up to this point, except for some tweaks.

have to admit i'd kinda given up hope of seeing any more releases, so it was a really nice surprise to click through here and find the updates just now! and nice that my forum account still works despite me having not posted here in ages.

Hey, sorry to bring this topic up, but I just wanted to thank Steve for the new version.

Been a user for almost 12 years now, not even expecting or paying attention on new releases, and Steve blesses us with these new features. The mirror function is just plain awesome. To do stuff like these automotive designs it will be great:

Did this a couple years back. Everything in Anim8or, was awarded a by a design contest by Fiat in Brasil.

I wanted to know if your still alive and not dead. If your still alive can you please give us an update on you actually look like now on your website so i tell my teachers who i can give credit for this amazing piece of software!

I'm still alive :-) I'm currently in Italy until August 1st for an extended vacation. But I recently retired and have been working on Anim8or anew. See the forum on the development releases for more information on this. I'll post an updated picture when I get back.

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for such wonderful software...I've been waiting for the update...my computer has not been playing nicely but it likes this anim8or version. I had surgery on part of my head 3 years ago and had been working on an abstract animation as a therapy from the event and then my computer said "no" ...but now says "yay" so now I can put my ideas together...thankyou again.

Quite a while back, I purchased Hexagon 2.5 from DAZ. I have worked with it, but like Blender, it seems to be hard to pick up. I'd made a couple of attempts, recently, to make a couple of different car models in Anim8or. They are, generally, failures, although two are "usable." I poked around the DAZ site this AM and found and purchased a tutorial for Hexagon about making cars. In the course of the four videos making up the tutorial, Hexagon must have crashed around ten times on the guy. Anim8or does crash on me on occasion, but not nearly that often. In fact, the more I work with Anim8or, the less it seems to misbehave. Also like to point out the guy had to use a "work around" to get his back ground drawings into Hexagon for his model, something that seems overly complicated in Blender, as well. Other words, Steve, you're doing good!
